    " A company called Bevshots has produced a series of shots of booze under the microscope at the Florida State University's chemistry labs. This is Dry Martini at 1000x magnification. The process consist of letting a droplet of liquor dry out completely on a slide in an airtight container, and photographing the result with a 35mm camera. The entire process can take up to three months and as many as 200 attempts to properly capture the drink's constituent parts.
Cocktails can have fruit and soft drinks in them which contain citric acids and complex sugars which dry out well and look great photographed.  The incredible shapes and colours of the boozy artwork are highlighted by shining natural light on top and through the bottom of the slide. Just like images of snowflakes, each drink is different. These images are available for sale at Bevshots. Open for business since August 2009, Bevshots estimate that they have sold over 20,000 examples of their alcoholic art works."

Melanie Authier Surrealist Paintings

 

     These are paintings by a Canadian artist Melanie Authier. The abstract disoriented shapes with the combination of pastels and the vivid colors makes great moments. The contrasting feeling of the colors, the texture. and all sorts of different kinds of shapes form very interesting art pieces. I thought it would be a perfect detail to be put in to a print. I specifically loved the parts where it seem to me as a soft fur texture.
